Rendering whats in the scrubber help

Hey folks,

Geez, I really dont want to come off as a dumb a$$ but i must have changed something in my Vegas and I havent a clue what happened.

I used to be able to render whatever was in the blue scrubber area to a new file. When I would want to render my whole project I would either have to collapse the scrubber all the way or expand it to cover the entire project. I guess I got sick of having to do that every time and changed a setting somewhere. Now whenever I render it always starts from the beginning of the timeline and not within the scrubber/pre-render area.

I desparately need this feature back as i am going through hours of high school football video and just need to create new clips of highlights and without the pre-render in the scrubber I am up a creek!

Any help to fix this would be INCREDIBLY APPRECIATED, heck, I might even name my next kid after you!

Thanks!!

Finatic

When you select "Render to new timeline," the window that pops up has a place in the lower left corner where you can select or deselect "Render selected area only." If this is unchecked you'll render the entire project. Check it and you render only the area of the project you have selected -- that is, designated by what you're calling the "blue scrubber area."

Hope this helps.

geez, could i go to the well one more time....

how do i make "rubber bands" on the audio and video tracks? i saw a demo once where they clicked on the audio and made a point and then could raise or lower the audio until they click another point, ect....

i click and double click on the audio track but no rubber bands, what am i doing wrong?

Right click on the track header(at the extreme left of the track) and select "Audio Envelope," which will give you a blue line running through the entire track. I'm not at my editing computer so am not certain, but you may be able to do this by right clicking anywhere within the audio time line, too.

You can then create nodes on this line by double clicking. Drag the node, or the line between two nodes, to adjust your audio.

Shortcut for Volume envelope, highlight the audio track and hit "V", which toggles display on/off. No well dressed track should be without one.
